| This is a terrific first novel, vivid and suspenseful. Holly Goddard Jones has a wonderfully fearless sympathy for all her characters. Her story collection, Girl Trouble, is also first-rate. | |

It's so awesome you teach at the University of Cincinnati! I live in Dayton. It was one of my top pick schools, but I'm not going to be going there anymore. But I know so many people who go there and or are going to be attending there!
